Street Scenes May 2011

On the way home from watching the dancing at school James and Jerard enjoyed the stroller ride.

We saw a carabao near the trash bins.....

We saw jeepney drivers taking a break, playing cards and eating merienda under a tree.....

Dance!

Kirsten's PE class was working on synchronized dancing and performed the dances on Friday! It was fun to watch them!

Little Red Riding Hood

Mikayla has been doing an independent study this year learning Cebuano, the 2nd largest language group here in the Philippines.
For part of her end-of-the-year project she had to rewrite a children's story and tell it in Cebuano.
Her teacher, Ate Bebe, got some neighborhood children to come and listen to the story. Kurt video recorded the story and took pictures. I provided chocolate chip cookies for the occasion. Mikayla did really well!!!!

Telling the story and answering questions! all in Cebuano!!!


Kurt loaded the kids up in our car and drove them back to their
neighborhood.

Stand Tall, Jonah!!!!


Ben's class did two skits in this morning's chapel on Daniel
in the lion's den and on Jonah. The message was to stand tall
and strong in the Lord; to obey Him; and His mercy and love.
